branches brown, villose above, leaves all ses- 
sile smooth ovate mucronate, fuscate above, 
pale and reticulate beueath ; bracts ovate vil- 
lose, flowers villose outside — on the shores of 
Lake Erie, flowers large white and red : near 
to L. hirsuta but this is quite hairy with obo- 
vate acum. leaves, the floral connate. 
521. L. acuti folia Raf. Autikon. Climb- 
ing flexuose smooth, leaves all connate subo- 
vate acute, terminal cycloidal biacute, glau- 
cous beneath ; flowers axillary and terminal pe- 
dicelate corymbose, corol small gibbose incar- 
nate — -in the Mts, Alleghany, leaves ample 3 
to 4 inches long. Near to L. parvijlora , 
and L, ellipiica 516, distinct from both by 
acute leaves and corymbose flowers, 
522. L. dentata Raf. Autikon. Erect 
smooth, leaves all connate oblong acute, re- 
motely toothed, glaucous beneath, terminal 
united like a bell biacute ; berries sessile ter- 
nate red at the bottom of the bell — near the

523. L. angustifolia Raf. or Kantemon do 
Raf, Autikon. Erect evergreen, branches 
round, leaves elliptic or cuneate all sessile, base 
acute, end obtuse, lucid above, glaucous and 
reticulate beneath : flowers naked vertieillate, 
4-Gsessile, berries oval with a marginal crown — 
in Florida, sent to me dry in fruit. Leaves 2 
inches long, some very narrow, none connate, 
the entire marginal calix appears to persist on 
the berries. Near to L. or K. ciliosum , but 
leaves neither ciliated nor ovate nor any con- 
nate.
